We describe a charged-particle diffusion in unbounded plasma, which is controlled by the temperature gradients of the charged particles. The obtained diffusion coefficient can be negative if the temperature of the electrons is greater than the temperature of the ions. We show that this charged-particle diffusion can cause plasma self-constriction, presented by a bell soliton.
